My cheating girlfriend tells me to move out for her new boyfriend, so I gaslight her and ruin her relationship.

I did this to an ex who asked me to move out while she was on a work trip and told me she was coming

back with her new boyfriend. We were still together when she left. I got these little noise makers,

battery-powered ones, the size of a quarter, that emit sound at just the right volume that you

aren't sure if you really heard it. It was so quiet that you could be sitting in an average-sized

you put this in all your ex's crap, didn't you? And when I admit to it, he starts laughing hysterically.

Turns out her new boyfriend had only lasted a few months and had left telling her that he couldn't
